The Sun Is a Compass
Author: Caroline Van Hemert
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316414433
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

The Dream Squad

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Think about this: we spend a third of our life sleeping and dreaming, yet we know very little about this part of our existence. Many people forget their dreams as soon as they wake up, or dismiss them as meaningless and insignificant. Not me. I have discovered the secret of dream lucidity (or magic dreaming). This means you're aware that you're dreaming and can control what happens. The more you practice, the better you become at it. You can choose where you go, what you do and who you meet (well, usually). So you see, there is a whole other dimension out there, waiting to be discovered, and trust me - it's a thousand times more thrilling than the 'awake' world. But you have to be careful. It can also be very dangerous... Jack is the first to start magic dreaming. He learns the art during visits to his Great Granny Georgia. The exploration of this new world requires its own vocabulary and Jack provides a glossary at the start of the book to help the reader understand terms such as Dream Maps, Dream Symbols and Anchor Objects. One night Jack is astonished to encounter his school friend Evie in a shared dream. Later they are joined by Mouse and Betsy. The four friends learn the secret of meeting up in dreams and together they form the Dream Squad. Their adventures take a dark turn when they encounter Dream Trapping. This involves locking someone in a dream or nightmare so that they don't wake up in the 'real' world. The person behind this rare but terrifying phenomenon is their ruthless head teacher, Miss Longbottom. She is on a mission to gain power over the children in the school. She is assisted by her black vulture, the most dangerous bird in the dream world and a 'carrier' of nightmares. The Dream Squad is soon immersed in a dangerous and exhilarating quest to free Mr Burley, their chemistry teacher, who has been 'trapped' in a dream by Miss Longbottom. To prevent themselves from becoming imprisoned with him they must face and conquer their own personal fears. They soon discover that Miss Longbottom has her own demons, and that these need to be overcome too.

The Clown in You
Author: Caroline Dream
Publisher: Alejandro Carlos Navarro Gonzalez
ISBN: 9788461696529
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
"THE CLOWN IN YOU" is a clowning manual for students, teachers and practitioners. It contains all kinds of valuable clown knowledge; both practical and theoretical. Within its pages readers will find all the basic principles of clowning, first-hand clowning experiences, tried and tested clown games and exercises, quotes from interviews Caroline held with professional clowns, examples of clown improvisations, and explanations of the clown philosophy underlying all the comic techniques used by clowns. The book thus provides an unprecedented insight into the heart of clowning and throws a fresh light on all the skills, audacity and dedication needed to encounter, encourage and set free one's clown. Caroline has worked with clowning from the inside out and the outside in. She writes from the perspective of a life spent investigating her art, both as a professional clown and as an international clown teacher. This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn more about the art and practice of clowning, or for anyone simply interested in becoming a healthier, happier and less inhibited person. ""Discovering your clown and allowing yourself complete freedom of expression is an addictive experience; an adventure sport, whose only drawback is that when you're on your way home you feel an urgent desire to keep on practising it."" CONTENTS The first three chapters introduce the reader to the art and craft of clowning as practiced by professional clowns throughout the world today. They also clarify all the misconceptions that have arisen around the clown that in reality hinder a student's ability to be funny. Chapters four to ten tackle specific areas of clown technique. Each chapter contains explanations of the reasons for, and reasoning behind, each element of the technique, plus guidelines and examples of how it all works on a practical level. Chapter eleven explores one of the least discussed aspects of clowning; the most common fears students face and how they can be dealt with. The final chapter examines the necessary ingredients for clowning success. It also covers the phenomenon of "flying," finding one's own unique comic wings. WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS BOOK: " The Clown in You cuts past all the jargon and unhelpful generalizations about clowns and tackles the clown's creative process with the kind of insight that can only come from a seasoned performer. Highly recommended for both beginners and experienced clowns." "JOHN TOWSEN, author of "Clowns," director of The (Very) Physical Comedy Institute, U.S.A." "Caroline Dream's superbly documented 30 years of experience as a performer and trainer is an invaluable source of reference for professionals, hobbyists and teachers. One of the most illuminating and insightful clown development guidebooks that I have read." "ROB FLORENCE, physical theatre teacher at The Arts & Entertainment College, NL" "Every clown, aspiring or professional, should have this book in their library. It's a great resource for helping clowns discover deeper layers of their character and creating powerful material. Packed with invaluable gems for understanding and creating in the art of clowning." "ROB TORRES, clown, The Big Apple Circus, U.S.A." "In this book I've found fantastic exercises and material which will inspire clowns to play and, most importantly, help keep their idiot present." "AITOR BASAURI, Spymonkey, UK" "This book is a shortcut to your inner clown, a seductive invitation to joy and freedom, a lodestar for highly effective human development."" ANDRES AGUILAR, Clown, Founder of Risaterapia.org, MEX" "Caroline offers us her 30 years of clowning experience, disclosing a clown philosophy I fully concur with. I wholeheartedly recommend this book."" ANTON VALEN, clown with Cirque du Soleil (Alegria & Kurios), ESP
